[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif] Nazi Saboteurs in America
Minutes after midnight on June 13, 1942, four men, led by George Dasch, landed on the beach in Long Island, New York. Dasch along with his three accomplices, Ernest Peter Burger, Heinrich Harm Heinck, and Richard Quirin, had enough explosives for two years of sabotage.
In Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, another four man team landed on June 17, 1942. They too had enough explosives to conduct two years of sabotage in the United States.
The goal of this mission was to bring the war to America. The eight men were to disrupt our ability to produce and transport crucial equiptment to our boys in Europe and frighten the American population.
Before being able to commit any acts of sabotage, all eight men were arrested by June 27, 1942. All eight were found guilty by a Military Commission. Six of the eight received the death penalty. The other two received prison sentences -- one received a 30 year imprisonment and the other received a life sentence.
[/FONT]The German intelligence service ordered that no similar sabotage attempt was ever again made because of the result of [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dasch's attempt[/FONT]. The German naval high command did not again allow a valuable submarine to be risked for a sabotage mission.
